Several spring storms affected western Colorado during the month and produced mountain snow and lower elevation rain and snow. These conditions continued the improving trend of the drought situation across the area with mountain snowpack remaining above normal across much of the area. Only extreme northwest Colorado remained in the moderate to severe drought categories while the rest of western Colorado was generally characterized by abnormally dry conditions. Although drought conditions have been improving, there remains concern for water supply both above and below ground. Please see the May 2005 Storm Data Publication for a continuation on this drought situation.
